Year of the Snake Optimus Prime spotted at Toys R Us Canada

[Darth Cylon]

You have to remember the whole Chinese New Year thing is just another one of Hasbro's marketing to go after newly found Chinese money.

Just like these other expensive fugly junks. Anything goes as long as they are buying.

Yeah, I was hoping that Omega would show up here and I could see it in person before buying plus avoid shipping. If it does come here and it's $130+ then I might as well wait till have to order a cheap textbook from Amazon US and then add it to the order.

Local TRU has so many of that YOTS Prime's they may never get Omega if he does come here.

That looks like an Omega picture on the backwards box on the top shelf... or is that just Omega pictures on the Prime packaging.

Yup. All the Primes have that picture on the box and it says "sold separately" in parentheses.

Anyone else worried TRU is trapped in a horrible cycle:

YOTD Optimus: let's order tons! These collectors ones sell like nuts!

Hasbro MP Prime: forget it, just order a couple. We took a bath on that dragon one.

YOTS Prime: Yowza, everyone wanted that last one and we didn't have enough, so fill up the shelves with this one!

MP Soundwave : ugh, we still have a ton of those snake optimus's...

It WILL happen exactly as stated. there will be 4x MP soundwaves per store. It is a smaller number since it isn't Optimus.

Why can't we be like some syndicate and have agents stationed in key sectors?
